Letter  from  the  Executive  Director 


It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  I submit  the  annual  report  of  the  Missouri 
Consolidated  Health  Care  Plan  (MCHCP)  for  the  period  ended  June  30, 2016. 
MCHCP  is  a component  unit  of  the  state  of  Missouri  for  financial  reporting 
purposes  and  as  such,  the  financial  reports  are  also  included  in  the  state  of 
Missouri  Comprehensive  Annual  Financial  Report.  The  financial  information 
presented  in  this  report  is  the  responsibility  of  management  of  MCHCP  and 
sufficient  internal  accounting  controls  exist  to  provide  a reasonable  assurance 
regarding  safekeeping  of  assets  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  statements, 
supporting  schedules  and  statistical  tables.  Systems  and  procedures  are  evaluated, 
in  conjunction  with  the  Board  of  Trustees,  MCHCP  management  and  Internal 
Audit  to  provide  assurances  that  internal  controls  exist  and  are  functioning  to 
promote  objectives  while  minimizing  risk.  Reasonable  assurance  recognizes  that 
the  cost  of  a control  should  not  exceed  the  benefits  to  be  derived;  the  objective 
is  to  provide  reasonable,  rather  than  absolute  assurance,  that  the  financial 
statements  are  free  of  material  misstatements.  The  report  is  also  designed  to 
comply  with  the  provisions  of  section  103.025  of  the  Revised  Statutes  of  Missouri 
(RSMo)  as  amended. 


Albert  Einstein,  often  considered  the  most  influential  physicist  of  the  20th 
century  once  said,  “Look  deep  into  nature,  and  then  you  will  understand 
everything  better.”  These  thoughtful  words  embody  the  theme  and  imagery 
of  our  fiscal  year  2016  report,  “Showing  the  Way.  "Throughout  the  report,  you 
will  see  the  beauty  of  our  Missouri  State  Parks,  with  their  trails  and  pathways 
enhancing  healthy  opportunities  to  enjoy  our  state.  We  believe  our  efforts  are 
similar  as  we  show  and  guide  members  with  education,  technology,  wellness 
incentives  and  a knowledgeable  and  experienced  team  in,  “showing  the  way”  in 
understanding  and  utilizing  health  care  benefits. 


During  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30, 2016,  the  state  of  Missouri  contributed 
more  than  $391  million,  or  approximately  68  percent  of  revenues,  to  the  Plan 
in  the  form  of  employer  sponsored  contributions.  Member  contributions 
for  our  state  members  exceeded  $13  5 million,  while  revenues  for  public 
enrollment  approached  $8  million.  Medical  and  pharmacy  claims  and  operations 
expenditures  for  our  state  and  public  employees  exceeded  $597  million  for  the 
period.  With  increasing  trends  in  medical  costs  and  utilization  and  new  and 
advancing  pharmaceutical  drugs  available;  the  financial  support  of  the  state, 
the  MCHCP  trust  fund  and,  our  members,  is  crucial  to  the  financial  strength  of 
the  Plan.  Additional  financial  information  can  be  found  in  the  management 
discussion  and  analysis  beginning  on  page  26,  financial  statements,  and  notes  to 
the  financial  statements  included  in  this  report. 


6 EMBARK  | Introduction 


Improving  technology  and  outreach  remains  vital  as  we  communicate  with  the 
more  than  96,000  lives  we  serve.  During  fiscal  year  2016,  MCHCP  implemented 
a responsive  website  design  to  accommodate  members  who  access  their 
information  through  mobile  devices.  Business  processes  were  leveraged  through 
an  improved  document  imaging  system  allowing  for  better  access  to  member 
records.  Infrastructure  improvements  related  to  business  continuity  were  also  a 
focus  during  the  year. 

The  Strive  for  Wellness’  Health  Center,  located  in  the  Harry  S Truman  Building 
workplace,  continues  to  serve  and  offer  our  active  membership  an  alternative 
option  to  traditional  offerings.  During  fiscal  year  2016,  the  Center  was  visited  by 
2,780  plan  members  and  reported  overall  satisfaction  in  excess  of  97  percent.  We 
continue  to  explore  additional  offerings  and  opportunities  to  serve  our  members 
to  facilitate  the  appropriate  utilization  of  health  care.  In  addition,  our  Strive  for 
Wellness’  team  of  expert  clinicians  and  health  educators  have  led  on-site  weight 
management  courses  and  quit  tobacco  courses  experiencing  an  average  quit  rate 
of  31  percent  for  the  courses  offered.  As  the  renowned  poet  and  author,  Maya 
Angelou,  once  said,  “All  great  achievements  require  time.”  We  understand  change 
doesn’t  happen  overnight,  but  we  applaud  our  members’  efforts  and  continue  to 
pursue  additional  ways  to  encourage  their  healthy  endeavors. 

Participation  and  engagement  of  our  population  in  their  health  remains  vitally 
important  as  we  look  for  methodologies  in  the  trends  influencing  health  and 
health  care  costs.  During  the  open  enrollment  period  encompassing  fiscal  year 
2016,  more  than  17,000  members  utilized  our  online  myPlan  Advisor,  managed 
through  our  health  partner  Truven  Health  Analytics,  in  selecting  their  health 
plan  for  2016.  The  online  application  utilizes  the  members’  recent  and  historical 
medical  outlay  coupled  with  the  ability  to  anticipate  individual  and  family 
utilization  to  arrive  at  their  recommended  plan  selection.  We  are  encouraged  by 
members’  interest  in  advancing  technology  that  increase  their  health  literacy  and 
facilitate  informed  MCHCP  health  consumers. 

For  the  21st  year  in  a row,  MCHCP  was  pleased  to  receive  the  Government 
Finance  Officers  Association  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  (GFOA)  Certificate 
of  Achievement  for  Excellence  in  Financial  Reporting  for  its  Comprehensive 
Annual  Financial  Report  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30, 201 5.  The  Certificate 
of  Achievement  is  a prestigious  national  award  recognizing  conformance  with 
the  highest  standards  for  preparation  of  state  and  local  government  financial 
reports.  In  order  to  qualify,  a government  unit  must  publish  a report  conforming 


2016  Annual  Report  7 


to  all  GFOA  standards.  The  Certificate  of  Achievement  is  valid  for  a period 
of  one  year  only.  MCHCP  will  continue  to  strive  for  such  recognition  with  its 
submission  of  our  current  report  for  consideration  to  GFOA.  Additionally, 
MCHCP  received  three  2016  American  InHouse  Design  Awards  for  “Best 
Corporate  ID”  for  the  Strive  for  Wellness’ Weight  Management  Course  materials, 
“Best  Poster”  for  our  2015  Missouri  State  Employee  5K  poster,  and  “Best  Direct 
Mail,”  for  the  myVoice  Panel  postcard. 

This  report  is  a product  of  the  combined  efforts  of  the  MCHCP  staff  and  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  It  is  intended  to  provide  complete  and  reliable  information  as 
a basis  for  making  management  decisions,  for  determining  compliance  with  legal 
provisions  and  for  evaluating  the  condition  of  the  fund.  MCHCP  has  received  an 
unqualified  opinion  from  our  independent  auditors  whose  report  can  be  found 
on  pages  24  and  25. 

This  report  is  provided  to  the  Governor,  the  State  Auditor,  members  of  the 
General  Assembly,  all  state  agencies,  and  all  participating  public  entities  and  is 
viewable  at  www.mchcp.org.  The  cooperation  and  support  of  these  individuals  and 
agencies  help  contribute  to  our  success.  Also,  for  the  Board  of  Trustees,  I extend 
my  gratitude  to  the  staff  who  are  passionately  “showing  the  way"  every  day  to 
provide  the  quality  service  you  have  come  to  expect  from  MCHCP. 

I welcome  your  suggestions  for  the  continued  success  and  improvements  of  your 
health  plan,  MCHCP. 


Yours  in  health.

Letter  from  the  Chairperson 


It  is  my  distinct  pleasure  to  present  to  you,  on  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the 
Comprehensive  Annual  Financial  Report  for  the  Missouri  Consolidated  Health 
Care  Plan  (MCHCP)  for  the  period  ended  June  30, 2016. 

Answering  the  call  for  leadership  amongst  the  ever-changing  landscape  of  health 
care  is  the  staple  of  our  fiscal  year  2016  report  theme,  “Showing  the  Way.”Similar 
to  the  trails  and  pathways  throughout  our  Missouri  State  Parks  that  guide  and 
lead  many  of  our  members  on  their  healthy  adventures,  MCHCP’s  support, 
through  dedicated  customer  service  and  education  to  enhance  our  members’ 
experience  while  showing  our  customer  base  the  comprehensive  benefits 
available  to  our  membership,  reflects  our  strong  commitment  to  charting  the 
path  for  you,  our  members.  Operationally,  MCHCP  technologies  focusing  on 
administrative  and  financial  efficiencies  have  allowed  us  to  reach  you  in  just  the 
path  that  best  suits  you  whether  it  be  through  the  website  at  www.mchcp.oig  that 
experienced  more  than  28  5,000  visits  during  the  year  or  contacting  the  dedicated 
service  specialists  who  answered  more  than  2 5,000  of  your  calls  and  inquiries. 

We  understand  that  a membership  can  be  best  served  when  knowledgeable 
regarding  benefits  and  outfitted  with  the  necessary  tools  to  promote  and  effect 
healthy  behaviors. 


Missouri,  as  many  states  throughout  the  nation,  faces  many  economic 
opportunities  and  challenges.  For  the  fiscal  year  ended,  June  30, 2016,  the  state’s 
net  general  revenue  collections  increased  0.9  percent  compared  to  201 5,  from 
$8.71  billion  last  year  to  $8.79  billion  this  year.  As  the  state  and  the  assets  of  the 
Plan  remains  the  largest  single  source  of  contributions  to  the  Plan  as  witnessed 
in  the  chart  on  the  following  page,  we  remain  steadfast  in  our  commitment 
as  stewards  of  taxpayer  dollars  and  Plan  assets  to  offer  comprehensive  and 
affordable  coverage  that  leverages  our  economies  and  engages  our  population  in 
healthy  outcomes. 

Partnering  with  our  membership  through  cooperative  engagement  remains 
essential  to  the  overall  financial  health  of  the  Plan  and  the  well-being  of  those 
we  serve.  During  fiscal  year  2016,  on  average,  more  than  57  percent  of  eligible 
members  participated  in  the  Partnership  Incentive,  while  more  than  7 5 percent 
of  those  eligible  for  Tobacco-Free  Incentives  attested.  Statistically,  MCHCP’s 
healthiest  23.3  percent  of  members  account  for  0.8  percent  of  the  cost,  while  the 
least  healthy  6.8  percent  of  our  members  account  for  a staggering  40  percent  of 
the  cost.  As  lifestyle-related  conditions  account  for  nearly  20  percent  of  total  paid 
claims,  wellness  initiatives  remain  influential  in  establishing  and  modeling  for  a 
healthier  MCHCP  population.

in  state  employee  premiums,  and  non-operating  revenue,  primarily  return  on 
investment,  totaled  more  than  $3.4  million. 

We  are  appreciative  of  the  more  than  96,000  state  and  public  members  we  serve. 
We  look  forward  to  continually,  “Showing  the  Way,”  through  the  opportunities  and 
challenges  ahead  as  we  remain  focused  on  our  mission  of  delivering  comprehensive 
and  affordable  health  coverage  to  our  members.  We  are  deeply  thankful  for  the 
dedicated  MCHCP  staff,  vendors  and  advisors  who  have  contributed  and  worked

2016  Annual  Report  17 


Summary  of  Plan  Provisions 


VISION 

To  be  recognized  and  valued  by  our  members  as  their 
advocate  in  providing  affordable,  accessible,  quality 
health  care  options. 

PURPOSE 

Established  Jan.  1, 1994,  the  Missouri  Consolidated 
Health  Care  Plan  (MCHCP)  or  the  Plan  was  created  to 
provide  health  care  benefits  to  most  state  employees, 
retirees  and  their  dependents,  and  public  entities  within 
the  state  that  join  the  Plan. 

MISSION 

To  provide  access  to  quality  and  affordable  health 
insurance  to  state  and  local  government  employees.  We 
will  accomplish  this  by: 

• Consolidating  purchasing  power  and 
administration  to  achieve  benefits  not  available  to 
individual  employer  members 

• Creating  collaborations  to  ensure  the  needs  of 
individual  members  are  understood  and  met 

• Ensuring  fiscal  responsibility 

• Developing  innovative  delivery  options  and 
incentives 

• Identifying  and  contracting  with  high-value  plans 

• Maintaining  a high-quality  and  knowledgeable 
work  force 

ADMINISTRATION 

MCHCP  administers  medical,  dental  and  vision  benefits 
and  an  employee  assistance  program  (EAP)  for  most 
members  of  the  Missouri  State  Employees’  Retirement 
System,  Judicial  Retirement  Plan,  some  members 
of  the  Public  School  Retirement  System,  legislators. 


statewide  elected  officials  and  eligible  public  entity 
members.  In  addition,  dental  and  vision  benefits  are 
available  to  employees  and  retirees  of  the  Departments 
of  Conservation  and  Transportation,  and  the  Missouri 
State  Highway  Patrol.  EAP  benefits  are  available  to 
active  employees  eligible  for  MCHCP  medical  coverage 
and  members  of  their  household. 

Missouri  statutes  provide  that  the  administration  of 
MCHCP  be  vested  in  a 13-member  Board  of  Trustees. 
The  Board  is  composed  of: 

• The  Director  of  the  Department  of  Health  and 
Senior  Services,  serving  ex  officio 

• The  Director  of  the  Department  of  Insurance, 
Financial  Institutions  and  Professional 
Registration,  serving  ex  officio 

• The  Commissioner  of  the  state  Office  of 
Administration,  serving  ex  officio 

• Two  members  of  the  Senate,  appointed  by  the 
President  Pro  Tern  of  the  Senate 

• Two  members  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
appointed  by  the  Speaker  of  the  House  of 
Representatives 

• Six  members  appointed  by  the  Governor  with 
the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate.  Of  the  six 
members  appointed  by  the  Governor,  three  shall 
be  citizens  of  the  state  of  Missouri  who  are  not 
members  of  the  Plan  but  who  are  familiar  with 
medical  issues.  The  remaining  three  members  of 
the  Board  shall  be  members  of  the  Plan. 

The  management  of  MCHCP  is  the  responsibility  of  the 
Executive  Director,  who  is  appointed  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  and  serves  at  its  pleasure. 

The  Executive  Director  acts  as  advisor  to  the  Board  on 
all  matters  pertaining  to  MCHCP  and,  with  the  approval 
of  the  Board,  contracts  for  professional  services  and 
employs  the  staff  needed  to  operate  the  organization. 


18  EMBARK  | Introduction 


MEDICAL  PLANS 


Preferred  Provider  Organization  (PPO)  plans  are  available  to  all  members  and  a Health  Savings  Account 
Plan  (HSA  Plan)  is  available  to  most  members.  All  plans  offer  the  same  basic  coverage  for  medical  and 
pharmacy.  Preventive  care,  including  annual  medical  exams,  age-specific  screenings  and  immunizations,  is 
covered  at  no  cost  to  the  member,  no  matter  the  medical  plan  chosen. 


PREFERRED  PROVIDER  ORGANIZATION  (PPO)  PLANS 

MCHCFs  PPO  plans  use  a network  of  preferred  providers.  A PPO  plan  allows  members  to  use  any  provider, 
but  claim  reimbursement  is  higher  when  utilizing  the  PPO  network. 

The  PPO  plans  have  network  benefits  that  require  a deductible  be  met  before  claims  are  paid  at  90%. 
Non-network  benefit  has  higher  out-of-pocket  expenses.  The  out-of-pocket  maximum  ensures  a member’s 
annual  medical  expenses  are  capped. 


HEALTH  SAVINGS  ACCOUNT  PLAN  (HSA  PLAN) 

MCHCP’s  HSA  Plan  provides  a tax-advantaged  way  to  help  non-Medicare  primary  members  save  for  future 
medical  expenses. 

The  Internal  Revenue  Service  establishes  maximum  annual  HSA  contribution  amounts,  but  there  is  no 
limit  on  the  balance  of  the  HSA.  MCHCP  contributes  funds  to  active  employee’s  HSAs  on  an  annual  basis. 
HSA  funds  can  be  used  for  qualified  medical  and  pharmacy  expenses.  The  HSA  Plan  uses  the  same  network 
of  preferred  providers  that  is  used  by  the  PPO  plans.  This  plan  has  higher  out-of-pocket  medical  expenses 
than  the  PPO  plans. 


PRESCRIPTION  DRUG  PLANS 

MCHCP  medical  plan  members  are  automatically  enrolled  in  the  prescription  drug  plan  (PDP).  Medicare 
Primary  members  are  enrolled  in  a Medicare  Part  D PDP.  Both  non-Medicare  and  Medicare  Primary  PDPs 
use  a broad  network  of  retail  pharmacies  and  one  specialty  pharmacy.  The  drug  formulary  covers  a wide 
array  of  drugs  and  promotes  the  use  of  generics. 


DENTAL  PLAN 

The  dental  plan  offers  a broad  network  of  providers  in  the  state.  Preventive  care,  such  as  examinations  and 
cleanings,  is  covered  at  100  percent  and  does  not  count  toward  the  plan  year  maximum  benefit  amount. 
Additional  cleanings  are  provided  for  members  who  are  pregnant,  diabetic,  have  a suppressed  immune 
system  or  have  a history  of  periodontal  therapy.  The  plan  also  covers  fillings,  extractions,  root  canals, 
bridges,  dentures,  crowns,  the  treatment  of  gum  disease  and  other  services  with  varying  deductibles  and 
coinsurance.

VISION  PLAN 


The  vision  plan  offers  set  copayments  for  services  received  from  network  providers  and  allowances  for 
services  obtained  from  non-network  providers.  The  plan  covers  examinations,  lenses,  frames,  contact  lenses 
and  corrective  laser  surgery.  Members  can  receive  discounts  on  additional  glasses  and  sunglasses  from  any 
provider,  accepting  those  discounts,  within  12  months  of  an  eye  exam. 


EMPLOYEE  ASSISTANCE  PROGRAM  (EAP) 

The  Employee  Assistance  Program  (EAP),  is  a confidential  counseling  and  referral  service  that  can  help 
employees  and  their  families  deal  with  life’s  challenges.  EAP  services  are  available  at  no  cost  to  all  state 
employees  eligible  for  MCHCP  medical  coverage  and  members  of  their  households.  Members  can  keep 
using  EAP  services  for  18  months  following  retirement  and  through  the  month  in  which  they  are  laid  off 
Household  members  can  also  use  EAP  services  for  six  months  after  a subscriber’s  death. 

The  program  can  help  with  issues  such  as  stress,  parenting,  grief  and  loss  and  substance  use,  legal  and 
financial  concerns,  and  identity  theft  and  fraud  resolution.  The  EAP  also  offers  everyday  support  through 
FamilySource"  to  assist  with  every  day  issues  such  as  child  and  elder  care,  moving  and  relocation,  making 
major  purchases,  vacation  planning  and  much  more  simply  by  calling  or  accessing  expert  help  online. 


STRIVE  FOR  WELLNESS®  PROGRAM 

The  Strive  for  Wellness’  program  provides  evidence-based  initiatives  and  resources  designed  to  help  most  of 
our  members  better  understand  and  manage  their  health. 

Major  strategies  focus  on  empowering  members  to  proactively  receive  preventive  health  screenings, 
manage  chronic  diseases,  and  to  lead  overall  healthier  lives.  Strive  for  Wellness’  offers  premium  reductions 
for  eligible  members  who  participate  in  the  Partnership  and  Tobacco-Free  Incentives. 

In  addition,  the  Strive  for  Wellness’  team  - comprised  of  expert  clinicians  and  health  educators  - teaches 
employees  how  to  make  smart  lifestyle  choices.  The  team  creates  Healthy  Moment  Videos,  Health  Action 
Campaigns  and  leads  health-education  events  and  related  activities,  such  as  blood  pressure  screenings  and 
an  annual  state  employee  5K  Run/Walk.  Registered  dietitians  teach  on-site  weight  management  courses 
several  times  each  year  and  registered  nurses  lead  quit  tobacco  courses  in  state  office  buildings. 

In  an  effort  to  broaden  wellness  opportunities  to  all  state  employees,  particularly  in  regions  located  outside 
the  capitol  complex,  wellness  ambassadors  and  building  wellness  teams  were  created.  These  individuals 
and  groups  help  organize  on-site  activities  and  services,  reaching  more  employees  where  they  work. 


20  EMBARK  | Introduction 


DISEASE  MANAGEMENT 
PROGRAM  (DM) 

The  Disease  Management  (DM)  program 
encourages  members  with  chronic  conditions, 
such  as  diabetes  and  coronary  artery  disease,  to 
participate  in  a telephonic,  one-on-one  nurse 
coaching  program.  Members  learn  new  ways 
to  control  their  conditions,  and  avoid  health 
crises  and  relapses  that  can  lead  to  emergency 
room  visits.  Nurses  may  communicate  with  a 
member’s  health  care  provider  to  share  patient 
progress  with  DM  between  office  visits. 

Members  who  participate  in  the  diabetes  DM 
program  receive  additional  support,  including 
four  visits  with  a certified  diabetes  educator, 
a glucometer,  and  no  cost  test  strips  and 
lancets.  Participants  also  have  access  to  lower 
prescription  dmg  copayments  and  coinsurance 
for  medications  directly  related  to  treating  their 
diabetes. 


Members  with  other  chronic  conditions  such  as 
obesity,  asthma  or  congestive  heart  failure  also 
receive  reduced  non-formulary  prescription 
copayments  or  coinsurance  when  they 
participate  in  a DM  program. 


STRIVE  FOR  WELLNESS® 
HEALTH  CENTER 


The  Strive  for  Wellness’  Health  Center  opened  in 
early  2014  in  the  Harry  S Truman  building.  The 
Center  makes  health  care  easily  accessible  to 
employees  enrolled  in  an  MCHCP  medical  plan 
by  providing  treatment  for  minor  illnesses  and 
preventive  care  services.

Report  of  Independent  Auditors 


Independent  Auditor’s  Report 


Care  Plan 


Report  on  the  Financial  Statements 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  two  major  funds  of  Missouri 
Consolidated  Health  Care  Plan  (the  “Plan”)  as  of  and  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  2016,  which 
collectively  comprise  the  Plan’s  basic  financial  statements  as  listed  in  the  table  of  contents. 

Management’s  Responsibility  for  the  Financial  Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  financial  statements  in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United  States  of  America;  this 
includes  the  design,  implementation,  and  maintenance  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  preparation 
and  fair  presentation  of  financial  statements  that  are  tree  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to 
error  or  fraud. 

Auditor’s  Responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit.  We 
conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  in  the  United  States  of 
America.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance 
about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  fi'om  material  misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgment, 
including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether 
due  to  error  or  fraud.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control 
relevant  to  the  Plan’s  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  statements  in  order  to  design 
audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an 
opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Plan’s  internal  control.  Accordingly,  we  express  no  such  opinion. 
An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the 
reasonableness  of  significant  accounting  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the 
overall  presentation  of  the  financial  statements.

Opinion 

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  refeiTed  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial  position  of  each  major  fund  of  the  Plan  as  of  June  30,  2016,  and  the  respective  changes  in 
financial  position  and  cash  flows  for  the  fiscal  year  then  ended  in  accordance  with  accounting 
principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America. 

Required  Supplemental  Information 

U.S  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  require  management’s  discussion  and  analysis  and  the 
required  supplementary  infoimation  as  listed  in  the  table  of  contents  be  presented  to  supplement  the 
basic  financial  statements.  Such  information,  although  not  a part  of  the  basic  financial  statements,  is 
required  by  the  GASB,  who  considers  it  to  be  an  essential  part  of  the  financial  reporting  for  placing 
the  basic  financial  statements  in  an  appropriate  operational,  economic,  or  historical  context.  We 
have  applied  certain  limited  procedures  to  the  required  supplementary  information  in  accordance 
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standai'ds  in  the  United  States  of  America,  which  consisted  of 
inquiries  of  management  about  the  methods  of  preparing  the  infoimation  and  compaiing  the 
information  for  consistency  with  management’s  responses  to  our  inquiries,  the  basic  financial 
statements,  and  other  knowledge  we  obtained  during  our  audit  of  the  basic  financial  statements.  We 
do  not  express  an  opinion  or  provide  any  assurance  on  the  information  because  the  limited 
procedures  do  not  provide  us  with  sufficient  evidence  to  express  an  opinion  or  provide  any 
assurance. 

Introductory  and  Statistical  Sections 

Our  audit  was  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on  the  financial  statements  that 
collectively  comprise  the  Plan’s  basic  financial  statements.  The  introductory  section  and  statistical 
section  are  presented  for  purposes  of  additional  analysis  and  are  not  a required  part  of  the  basic 
financial  statements.  Such  information  has  not  been  subjected  to  the  auditing  procedures  applied  in 
the  audit  of  the  basic  financial  statements,  and  accordingly,  we  do  not  express  an  opinion  or  provide 
any  assurance  on  them.

2016  Annual  Report  25 


Management's  Discussion  & Analysis 


This  section  of  the  annual  financial  report  provides  an  overview  and  analysis  of  the  financial  activities  of 
the  Missouri  Consolidated  Health  Care  Plan  (MCHCP)  for  the  fiscal  years  ended  June  30, 2016  and  201 5. 
We  encourage  you  to  consider  the  information  presented  here  in  conjunction  with  additional  information 
presented  in  the  basic  financial  statements  which  follow  this  section. 

Fiscal  year  ended  June  30, 2016  became  the  ninth  year  of  presentation  for  the  adoption  of  the  provisions 
of  Governmental  Accounting  Standards  Board  (GASB)  Statement  #43,  Financial  Reporting  for  Postemployment 
Benefit  Plans  Other  Than  Pension  Plans.  Implementation  was  not  required  until  fiscal  year  2008  because 
MCHCP  previously  accounted  and  reported  for  its  activities  under  GASB  #10,  Accounting  and  Financial 
Reporting  for  Risk  Financing  and  Related  Insurance  Issues.  GASB  #10  was  amended  by  GASB  #45  but  remained 
in  effect  for  accounting  for  healthcare  benefits  to  retirees  until  the  effective  date  of  GASB  #45.  Thus,  GASB 
#45  was  effective  for  MCHCP’s  fiscal  year  ended  June  30, 2008. 

As  a result  of  implementation,  MCHCP  created  a separate  fiduciary  trust  fund  (State  Retiree  Welfare 
Benefit  Trust  or  SRWBT)  to  handle  the  post-employment  benefits  for  state  employees.  Prior  to  that  time, 
the  Internal  Service  Fund  (ISF)  of  MCHCP  handled  the  activity  of  both  active  and  retired  participants.  For 
the  current  fiscal  year,  even  though  there  was  no  significant  change  from  an  operational  aspect,  the  net 
position  and  activity  related  to  active  participants  is  reported  in  the  ISF  and  the  net  position  and  activity 
related  to  retired  participants  is  reported  in  the  SRWBT  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements. 

FUND  ACCOUNTING 

A fund  is  a grouping  of  related  accounts  that  is  used  to  maintain  control  over  resources  that  have  been 
segregated  for  specific  activities  or  objectives.  MCHCP,  like  other  discretely  presented  component  nnits  of 
the  State  of  Missouri  (as  defined  by  GASB  Statement  #14),  uses  fund  accounting  to  ensure  and  demonstrate 
compliance  with  finance-related  legal  requirements.  There  are  three  categories  available  for  governmental 
accounting:  governmental  funds,  proprietary  funds  and  fiduciary  funds.  The  ISF  is  considered  to  be  a 
proprietary  fund  while  SRWBT  is  classified  as  a fiduciary  fund.  MCHCP  does  not  have  any  governmental 
funds. 

Proprietary  funds.  Proprietary  funds  account  for  governmental  operations  that  are  designed  to  be  self- 
supporting  from  fees  charged  to  consumers  for  the  provision  of  those  goods  and  services  or  where  the 
government  has  decided  that  the  periodic  determination  of  revenues,  expenses,  and  net  income  is 
appropriate  for  capital  maintenance,  public  policy,  management  control,  accountability,  or  other  purposes. 
The  accounting  and  financial  reporting  practices  of  proprietary  funds  are  similar  to  those  used  for  business 
enterprises  and  focus  on  capital  maintenance  and  the  flow  of  economic  resources  through  the  use  of 
accrual  accounting.  Of  the  two  types  of  proprietary  funds,  MCHCP  maintains  one  type:  internal  service 
fund.  Internal  service  funds  acconnt  for  the  financing  of  goods  or  services  provided  by  one  governmental 
department  or  agency  to  another  and  are  expected  to  be  self-supporting  through  charges  to  users.  MCHCFs 
purpose  is  to  provide  medical  insurance  benefits  to  the  State  of  Missouri’s  and  other  participating  Missouri 
public  entities’  employees,  retirees,  and  their  dependents. 


26  GUIDE  I Financial 


Fiduciary  funds.  Fiduciary  funds  account  for  assets  held  in  a trustee  or  agency  capacity  for  others  and, 
therefore,  cannot  be  used  to  support  the  government’s  own  programs.  Fiduciary  fund  accounting  is  similar 
to  that  used  for  proprietary  funds.  The  purpose  of  the  SRWBT  is  to  provide  health  and  welfare  benefits 
for  the  exclusive  benefit  of  current  and  retired  employees  of  the  State  and  their  dependents  who  meet 
eligibility  requirements,  except  for  those  retired  members  covered  by  other  post-employment  benefit 
(OPEB)  plans  of  the  State. 

OVERVIEW  OF  THE  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS 

This  discussion  and  analysis  are  intended  to  serve  as  an  introduction  to  the  Plan’s  basic  financial 
statements.  Typically,  governmental  financial  statements  would  be  presented  as  three  components: 

1)  government-wide  financial  statements,  2)  fund  financial  statements,  and  3)  notes  to  the  financial 
statements.  However,  because  the  Plan  has  only  proprietary  and  fiduciary  funds,  government-wide 
financial  statements  are  not  presented.  Proprietary  funds  present  financial  statement  information  in 
the  same  manner  as  government- wide  financial  statements  only  with  more  detail,  and  government- wide 
financial  statements  would  be  repetitive.  In  addition,  fiduciary  funds  are  not  reflected  in  government- 
wide  financial  statements  because  the  resources  of  that  fund  are  not  available  to  support  MCHCFs  own 
programs. 

MCHCP  presents  the  ISF  and  SRWBT  on  separate  fund  financial  statements.  For  the  ISF,  the  basic  financial 
statements  are  comprised  of  the  Statement  of  Net  Position;  the  Statement  of  Revenues,  Expenses  and 
Changes  in  Net  Position;  and  the  Statement  of  Cash  Flows.  For  SRWBT,  the  basic  financial  statements 
are  comprised  of  the  Statement  of  Fiduciary  Net  Position  and  the  Statement  of  Changes  in  Fiduciary  Net 
Position.  The  Notes  to  the  Financial  Statements  are  also  part  of  the  basic  financial  statements  and  apply 
to  both  the  ISF  and  SRWBT.  The  financial  statements  are  prepared  on  the  accrual  basis  in  accordance  with 
U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  applicable  to  governmental  benefit  plans. 

The  Statement  of  Net  Position  and  Statement  of  Fiduciary  Net  Position  present  MCHCFs  financial 
position  as  of  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year  for  each  fund.  Information  is  displayed  as  assets  and  liabilities, 
with  the  difference  between  the  two  reported  as  net  position  or  deficit.  The  net  position  of  MCHCP  reflect 
the  resources  available  as  of  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year  to  pay  benefits  to  members  when  due.  Over  time, 
increases  and  decreases  in  net  position  measure  whether  MCHCFs  financial  position  is  improving  or 
deteriorating. 

The  Statement  of  Revenues,  Expenses  and  Change  in  Net  Position  and  the  Statement  of  Changes  in 
Fiduciary  Net  Position  present  information  detailing  the  revenues  and  expenses  that  resulted  in  the 
change  in  net  position  that  occurred  during  the  current  fiscal  year.  All  revenues  and  expenses  are  reported 
on  an  accrual  basis.  This  means  that  the  revenue  or  expense  is  recognized  as  soon  as  the  underlying  event 
giving  rise  to  the  change  occurs,  regardless  of  when  the  actual  cash  is  received  or  paid.  Thus,  revenues  and 
expenses  are  reported  in  this  statement  for  some  items  that  will  not  result  in  cash  flows  until  future  fiscal 
periods.  For  example,  contributions  due  from  a public  entity,  even  though  not  yet  paid  by  year  end,  will  be 
reflected  as  revenue.  Likewise,  claims  that  occurred  during  the  fiscal  year  under  self-funded  plans  will  be 
reflected  as  an  expense,  whether  or  not  they  have  been  paid  as  of  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year. 


2016  Annual  Report  27 


The  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  presents  the  cash  inflows  and  outflows  of  the  ISF  categorized  by  operating, 
capital  and  related  financing,  and  investing  activities.  It  reconciles  the  beginning  and  end  of  year  cash 
balances  contained  in  the  Statement  of  Net  Position.  The  effects  of  accrual  accounting  are  adjusted  out  and 
noncash  activities,  such  as  depreciation,  are  removed  to  supplement  the  presentation  in  the  Statement  of 
Revenue,  Expenses  and  Change  in  Net  Position.  A statement  of  cash  flows  is  not  required  for  the  SRWBT. 

The  Notes  to  Financial  Statements  follow  the  above  basic  financial  statements  and  provide  additional 
information  that  is  essential  to  a full  understanding  of  the  data  provided  in  the  financial  statements. 


FINANCIAL  ANALYSIS 

The  following  tables  present  summarized  financial  position  and  results  for  the  fiscal  years  ending  June  30, 
2016  and  2015.  Additional  details  are  available  in  the  accompanying  basic  financial  statements. 


Summary  Comparative  Statements  of  Net  Position 

Current  assets  for  the  ISF  decreased  for  the  year  ended  June  30, 2016  due  to  changes  in  cash  and  cash 
equivalents  as  a result  of  operating  activities.  Capital  asset  activity  has  been  minimal  as  operations  have  not 
changed  significantly  during  the  years  presented. 

With  the  adoption  of  GASB  Statement  No.  68,  Accounting  and  Financial  Reporting  for  Pensions  during  fiscal  year 
ended  June  30, 201 5,  the  Plan  has  recognized  deferred  outflows  of  resources  for  pension  contributions  made 
and  expensed  of  $967,148  and  $539,717,  respectively  for  the  periods  ended  June  30, 2016  and  2015. 

Accrued  medical  claims  and  fees  increased  for  the  ISF  for  the  year  ended  June  30, 2016  over  201 5,  due 
primarily  to  an  increase  in  the  IBNR  (incurred  but  not  reported)  estimate  related  to  the  current  pattern  of 
expected  medical  claims  expenditures.  Health  risk  profiles  of  plan  participants  remained  relatively  stable  for 
the  period  and  estimates  are  reflective  of  the  active  enrollment  and  medical  trend  projections  during  the  year. 

Unearned  premiums  and  other  liabilities  for  the  periods  ended  June  30, 2016  and  201 5 are  primarily 
influenced  by  the  State’s  contribution  at  June  30th  for  each  of  the  years  ended  and  the  level  of  contribution 
applicable  to  each  receipt.  For  the  ISF  unearned  premiums  at  June  30, 2016,  increased  by  approximately  four 
percent  over  fiscal  year  201 5,  due  primarily  to  the  State’s  contribution  at  June  30, 2016  and  the  respective 
levels  of  appropriated  funding  from  the  State  included  with  these  receipts.  Unearned  premiums  and  other 
liabilities  are  most  significantly  influenced  by  the  state’s  payroll  cycle  and  the  amount  and  timing  of  receipt  of 
premium  payments  to  MCHCP  prior  to  the  effective  date  of  coverage. 

Noncurrent  liabilities  existing  at  June  30, 2016  and  2015  reflect  the  Plan’s  net  pension  liability  related  to  the 
implementation  of  GASB  6 8,  Accounting  and  Financial  Reporting  for  Pensions. 

Net  position  represents  the  value  of  the  ISF’s  assets  after  liabilities  are  deducted.  The  decrease  in  net  position 
for  the  ISF  at  June  30, 2016  over  201 5,  is  primarily  the  result  of  increases  in  medical  and  pharmacy  expenses 
associated  with  utilization  and  claim  unit  costs  and  their  impact  on  plan  assets  and  liabilities.

2016  Annual  Report  29 


Summary  Comparative  Statement  of  Fiduciary  Net  Position 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  decreased  primarily  to  the  timing  of  investment  strategies  and  activity  as 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  performed  by  the  Plan’s  investment  manager.  Investments 
increased  at  June  30, 2016,  by  over  3 percent  due  to  the  overall  performance  of  the  fund  and  the 
concentration  mix  of  scheduled  available  assets. 

Prescription  drug  rebates  for  the  SRWBT  increased  during  fiscal  year  2016,  as  a result  of  the  Plan’s 
increases  in  pharmacy  and  specialty  drug  expenditures  and  the  related  direct  and  coverage  gap  discounts 
associated  with  those  payments.  Contractual  improvements  associated  with  pharmacy  market  check 
provisions  increased  per  script  returns  while  bolstering  rebate  revenues. 

Contractual  market  check  provisions  associated  with  retail  brand  scripts  increased  prescription  drug 
rebates  for  the  SRWBT  and  are  the  primary  influencers  of  the  increase  in  net  position  at  June  30, 2016,  to 
approximately  $117  million  compared  to  $106.9  million  at  June  30, 201 5.

Summary  Comparative  Statements  of  Revenue,  Expenses  & Changes  in  Net  Position 

State/Employer  contributions  for  fiscal  years  2016  and  2015,  for  the  ISF  totaled  $324,857,578  and 
$324,630,770,  respectively.  Funding  for  the  years  represented  are  attributable  to  the  State's  appropriation 
to  fund  the  claims  costs  and  operations  expense  attributable  to  State  employee  health  benefits.  Ultimately, 
claims  costs  for  state  employees  are  backed  by  the  State  of  Missouri  should  State/Employer  contributions 
not  be  sufficient  to  cover  claims  needs. 

Member  contributions  for  the  ISF  for  the  years  ended  June  30, 2016  and  201 5,  are  influenced  primarily 
by  total  enrollment,  the  mix  of  enrollment,  the  relative  plan  design  for  the  respective  years,  and  the  State’s 
commitment  to  providing  a pathway  for  maintaining  premium  contributions  through  employer  subsidy 
and  employee  participation  in  wellness  initiatives. 

Public  entity  emollment  at  June  30, 2016,  decreased  approximately  five  percent  over  enrollment  at  June 
30, 201 5,  although  public  entity  contributions  remained  relatively  stable  due  to  the  mix  of  enrollment 
for  the  year  contributions  for  the  years  ended  June  30,  2016  and  201 5,  were  $7,904,470  and  $8,063,991, 
respectively. 

Subcontractor  rebates  increases  at  June  30, 2016  over  201 5 are  primarily  influenced  by  the  Plan’s 
prescription  drug  expenditures,  active  enrollment,  and  the  related  contractual  rebate  improvements. 

Medical  claims  and  capitation  expense  increased  by  over  seven  percent  during  fiscal  year  2016,  and 
was  primarily  related  to  the  Plan’s  increased  expenditures  for  pharmacy  and  specialty  drugs,  medical 
utilizations  and  anticipated  fluctuations  in  medical  claims  trends.

Summary  Comparative  Statement  of  Changes  in  Fiduciary  Net  Position 

Employer  contributions  for  the  SRWBT  for  the  years  ended  June  30, 2016  and  201 5,  respectively  were 
$66,199,740  and  $62,585,666  and  are  attributable  to  the  State's  appropriation  to  fund  the  claims  costs  and 
operations  expense  attributable  to  State  employee  retiree  health  benefits.  Ultimately,  claims  costs  for  state 
employees  are  backed  by  the  State  of  Missouri  should  State/Employer  contributions  not  be  sufficient  to 
cover  claims  needs. 

Beginning  in  calendar  year  2014,  MCHCP  began  participating  in  a Medicare  Prescription  Drug  Plan  (PDP) 
to  provide  coverage  to  Medicare-primary  retirees  and  dependents.  The  program  anticipates  greater  savings 
to  the  employer  over  the  historical  retiree  drug  subsidy  (RDS).  During  fiscal  years  2016,  and  201 5 the 
SRWBT  received  $29,696,367  and  $14,865,605  for  rebates  and  subsidies  associated  with  the  Medicare  PDP. 

Medical  claims  and  capitation  expense  increased  for  the  SRWBT  by  over  10  percent  during  fiscal  year  2016, 
primarily  due  to  increased  retiree  enrollment  in  the  SRWBT  and  the  Plan’s  increased  expenditures  for 
pharmacy  and  specialty  drugs  and  anticipated  fluctuations  in  medical  claims  activity  and  trends.

SUMMARY 


MCHCP  remains  committed  to  providing  comprehensive  and  affordable  health  care  to  the  members  we 
serve,  effectuating  sound  fiscal  practices  as  stewards  of  Plan  resources,  and  remaining  diligent  in  our  efforts 
in  providing  member  education  to  facilitate  member  satisfaction  and  cost  containment.  Wellness  and 
disease  management  programs  were  introduced  and  incorporated  in  an  effort  to  promote  healthy  member 
outcomes  and  to  promote  cost  containment.  Operating  expenses  and  vendor  costs  remained  relatively 
stable  due  to  competitive  procurement  with  investments  in  technology  and  automation  in  Plan  operations. 
Medical  and  pharmacy  cost  increases  reflect  expected  fluctuations  due  to  the  emergence  of  specialty  drug 
cost  prevalence  and  normal  medical  claim  trends.  Increases  associated  with  self-funded  expenditures,  are 
indicative  of  the  attention  to  health  risk  profiles  of  the  MCHCP  population  and  management  initiatives 
surrounding  benefit  design,  disease  management  and  wellness.  In  March  of  2014,  the  Plan  launched 
the  Strive  for  Wellness*  Health  Center  as  an  additional  effort  to  promote  appropriate  utilization,  provide 
members  with  additional  access  to  services,  while  continuing  to  pursue  avenues  for  cost  containment. 

The  health  center  realized  a near  breakeven  in  its  initial  full  year  of  operation  while  reporting  optimum 
member  satisfaction  results  and  continues  to  provide  opportunities  for  members  to  pursue  health 
management. 

MCHCFs  cash  is  invested  conservatively  to  preserve  principal  and  maintain  liquidity.  In  addition,  the 
Plan  utilizes  a master  investment  policy  and  instruments  are  predicated  on  an  asset  allocation  model 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Trustees.  Investment  income  for  the  ISF  and  SRWBT  consists  of  interest 
income,  unrealized  gains  and  losses  in  fair  value,  accretion  of  discounts,  and  amortization  of  premiums. 
Investment  income  for  the  ISF  and  the  SRWBT  in  total  was  realized  in  the  amount  of  $3,437,310  and 
$4,739,251  for  the  fiscal  year’s  ended  June  30, 2016  and  2015,  respectively,  and  is  predicated  on  the 
availability  of  investable  assets  and  the  economic  conditions  influencing  market  conditions. 

MCHCP’s  actuary  reviews  the  financial  assets  of  MCHCP  in  conjunction  with  obligations  and  the  funding 
available  as  provided  by  the  Missouri  General  Assembly.  Due  to  the  state  of  economic  conditions  facing 
the  State,  the  MCHCP,  members  of  the  General  Assembly,  and  the  State’s  Office  of  Budget  and  Planning 
meet  regularly  to  discuss  funding  needs  and  projected  claims  expenditures  in  an  effort  to  develop  funding 
levels  for  the  Plan.  Ultimately,  the  funding  of  claims  costs  are  backed  by  the  State  of  Missouri  should 
contributions  be  unable  to  meet  claims  obligations. 

During  the  years  presented,  MCHCP  faced  a tightened  State  budget,  which  compelled  it  to  continue 
to  pursue  opportunities  in  cost  containment,  member  engagement  in  healthy  outcomes  and  changes 
to  benefit  offerings.  Combined  with  expected  continued  escalation  in  health  care  costs,  MCHCP  faces 
significant  challenges  in  an  effort  to  provide  affordable  health  care  coverage  to  its  members.  As  a result, 
MCHCP  has  explored  a full  range  of  viable  options  to  accommodate  the  State  budget  while  continuing  to 
offer  comprehensive  and  affordable  coverage  to  its  members.  Wellness  and  disease  management  programs 
that  encourage  member  engagement  are  the  progressive  instrument  to  continue  to  foster  healthier 
outcomes  and  reduce  claims  expenditures.  MCHCP’s  wellness  incentives  are  designed  to  incorporate  and 
promote  best  in  class  initiatives.  The  overall  financial  position  of  MCHCP  is  reliant  upon  state  funding, 
cost  containment  and  comprehensive  benefits  review  of  the  self-funded  programs  to  continue  to  generate  a 
healthier  membership  in  MCHCP.

Notes  to  Financial  Statements 


1.  GENERAL  INFORMATION 

The  Missouri  Consolidated  Health  Care  Plan  or  the 
Plan  was  statutorily  created  and  organized  on  January 
1, 1994,  with  the  purpose  of  providing  medical 
insurance  benefits  to  the  State  of  Missouri’s  (State) 
employees,  retirees  and  their  dependents  as  well  as 
other  Missouri  public  entity  employees,  retirees  and 
their  dependents.  Prior  to  1994,  medical  insurance 
benefits  for  the  State’s  employees,  retirees  and  their 
dependents  were  provided  by  Missouri  State  Employees’ 
Retirement  System  (MOSERS)  medical  care  plan.  On 
January  1, 1994,  through  a transfer  agreement  between 
the  Plan  and  MOSERS,  all  medical  care  plan  assets  and 
liabilities  were  transferred  to  the  Plan. 

The  Plan  currently  has  approximately  9 5,000  active 
and  retired  State  members  and  dependents,  1,078 
public  entity  members  and  dependents,  and  more 
than  96,000  covered  lives,  and  is  funded  through 
both  employer  and  employee  contributions.  Through 
December  31, 1994,  all  Plan  members  were  State 
employees,  retirees  and  their  dependents.  Beginning 
January  1, 1995,  additional  members  included  public 
entity  employees,  retirees  and  dependents. 

State  contribution  rates  are  based  on  the  State’s 
approved  appropriation  and  the  number  of  anticipated 
participants.  State  employee  and  public  entity 
contribution  rates  are  established  by  the  Plan’s  Board  of 
Trustees  based  on  contractor  bids  for  the  plan  year  and 
budgeted  employer  contributions. 

MCHCP  is  a risk  pool  and  administers  an  “agent 
multiple  employer  plan”  because  each  employer 
remains  individually  responsible  for  financing  its  own 
commitment  to  provide  benefits  to  its  participants, 
including  any  eligible  retirees.  As  a result  of  the 
implementation  of  GASB  Statement  No.  43,  Accounting 
and  Financial  Reporting  for  Postemployment  Benefits  Other 
than  Pensions,  MCHCP  created  a separate  fiduciary  trust 
fund  (State  Retiree  Welfare  Benefit  Trust,  or  SWRBT) 


to  handle  the  post-employment  benefits  for  State 
employees. 

SRWBT  was  established  and  organized  on  June  27, 
2008,  pursuant  to  the  Revised  Statutes  of  Missouri 
(2000)  as  amended  (“RSMo”)  103.003  through  103.178 
to  provide  health  and  welfare  benefits  for  the  exclusive 
benefit  of  current  and  future  retired  employees  of 
the  State  and  their  dependents  who  meet  eligibility 
requirements  except  for  those  retired  members  covered 
by  other  post-employment  benefit  (OPEB)  plans  of 
the  State.  The  SRWBT  is  considered  a cost-sharing 
multiple  employer  plan  because  it  covers  various  State 
agencies  and  legally  separate  component  units.  It  is 
administered  by  Plan  staff  under  the  direction  of  the 
Plan  Board  of  Trustees.  The  SRWBT  does  not  issue  a 
separate  audited  financial  report. 

Beginning  June  30,  2009,  the  net  position  and  activity 
related  to  active  participants  are  reported  in  the 
Internal  Service  Fund  (ISF),  and  the  net  position  and 
activity  related  to  retired  participants  are  reported  in 
the  SRWBT  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements. 
In  the  following  footnotes,  the  term  “the  Plan  refers  to 
both  the  ISF  and  SRWBT.  Disclosures  that  are  specific 
to  the  ISF  or  SRWBT  are  separately  noted. 

The  Plan  is  considered  a part  of  the  State’s  financial 
reporting  entity  and  is  included  in  the  State’s  financial 
report  as  a component  unit.  As  the  Plan  is  considered  a 
political  subunit  of  the  State  and  provider  of  essential 
governmental  services,  it  is  not  subject  to  federal 
income  taxes,  nor  to  the  provisions  of  the  Employee 
Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.  The  Plan  is 
administered  according  to  Missouri  statutes.  These 
statutes  do  not  include  a provision  for  the  termination 
of  the  Plan. 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity 
with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
(GAAP)  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets 


44  GUIDE  I Financial 


and  liabilities;  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and 
liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements;  and 
the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during 
the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from 
those  estimates. 

2.  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING  POLICIES 

A.  Basis  of  Accounting 

The  financial  statements  of  the  ISF  are  intended  to 
present  the  financial  position  and  the  changes  in  cash 
flows  of  only  that  portion  of  the  activities  attributable 
to  the  transactions  of  the  ISF.  The  ISF  is  accounted  for 
as  a proprietary  fund. 

The  Plan’s  financial  statements  for  the  ISF  were 
prepared  using  the  accrual  basis  of  accounting, 
in  accordance  with  GAAP,  as  prescribed  by  the 
Governmental  Accounting  Standards  Board  (GASB). 
GASB  Statement  No.  20,  Accounting  and  Financial 
Reporting  for  Proprietary  Funds  and  Other  Governmental 
Entities  That  Use  Proprietary  Fund  Accounting,  establishes 
the  GAAP  hierarchy  for  proprietary  funds.  The 
statement  requires  that  proprietary  activities  apply 
to  all  applicable  GASB  pronouncements.  The  Plan 
implemented  GASB  Statement  No.  63,  Financial 
Reporting  of  Deferred  Outflows  of  Resources,  Deferred 
Inflows  of  Resources,  and  Net  Position  for  the  fiscal  year 
ended  June  30, 2013.  The  objective  of  the  statement 
is  to  provide  guidance  for  reporting  deferred  outflows 
of  resources,  deferred  inflows  of  resources,  and  net 
position  in  a statement  of  financial  position  and 
related  disclosures.  Effective  for  fiscal  year  ended 
June  30, 201 5,  the  Plan  adopted  GASB  Statement 
No.  68,  Accounting  and  Financial  Reporting  for  Pensions 
- an  amendment  to  GASB  Statement  No.  27,  which 
enhances  accounting  and  financial  reporting  by 
state  and  local  governments  for  pensions  and 


improves  information  provided  by  the  state  and  local 
governmental  employers  about  financial  support  for 
pensions  provided  by  other  entities.  The  Plan  now 
recognizes  a long  term  liability  for  the  net  pension 
liability  in  the  Statement  of  Net  Position.  See  Note  J for 
additional  details  regarding  the  Plan’s  retirement  plan. 

Effective  for  fiscal  year  ended  June  30, 2016,  the 
Plan  adopted  GASB  Statement  No.  72,  Fair  Value 
Measurement  and  Application,  which  intends  to  improve 
financial  reporting  by  requiring  governments  to 
account  and  report  utilizing  a consistent  and  more 
detailed  definition  of  fair  value  and  accepted  valuation 
techniques.  Adoption  resulted  in  additional  note 
disclosures  in  Note  C to  display  investments  by  the 
category  of  measurement  hierarchy. 

The  financial  statements  of  the  SRWBT  are  intended  to 
present  the  financial  position  and  the  changes  in  cash 
flow  of  only  that  portion  of  the  activities  attributable  to 
the  transactions  of  the  SRWBT. 

Benefits  and  refunds  of  the  SRWBT  are  recognized 
when  due  and  payable  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of 
the  plan.  The  SRWBT  is  accounted  for  as  a fiduciary 
fund.  Accordingly,  the  financial  statements  are 
prepared  using  the  accrual  basis  of  accounting  in 
conformity  with  GAAP. 

B.  Method  Used  to  Value  Investments 

Investments  are  reported  at  fair  value  on  a trade-date 
basis  with  changes  in  fair  value  recorded  in  investment 
income  on  the  statement  of  revenues,  expenses  and 
change  in  net  position.  Investments  are  recorded 
at  fair  value  as  determined  by  quoted  market  price, 
when  available,  or  estimated  fair  value  when  not 
available.  Many  factors  are  considered  in  arriving  at 
that  fair  market  value.  In  general,  however,  bonds  and 
mortgage  backed  securites  are  valued  based  on  yields 
currently  available  on  comparable  securities  of  issuers 


2016  Annual  Report  45 


with  similar  credit  ratings.  Realized  gains  and  losses 
are  based  on  the  specific  identification  basis.  The 
calculation  of  realized  gains  and  losses  is  independent 
of  the  calculation  of  the  change  in  net  unrealized  gains 
and  losses. 

C.  Deposits  & Investments 

The  Plan  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments, 
readily  convertible  into  cash  with  original  maturities  of 
three  months  or  less,  to  be  cash  equivalents. 

Custodial  Credit  Risk 

Custodial  credit  risk  for  deposits  is  the  risk  that,  in  the 
event  of  the  failure  of  a depository  financial  institution, 
the  Plan  would  not  be  able  to  recover  deposits  or 
collateral  securities  in  the  possession  of  an  outside 
party.  In  an  effort  to  mitigate  custodial  credit  risk,  the 
Plan  requires  the  bank  to  sweep  the  accounts  each  night 
into  overnight  repurchase  agreements  for  which  the 
underlying  securities  must  be  of  the  type  approved  by 
the  State.  All  remaining  cash  balances  are  to  be  insured 
or  appropriately  collateralized. 

Custodial  credit  risk  for  investments  is  the  risk  that, 
in  the  event  of  the  failure  of  the  counterparty  to  the 
transaction,  the  Plan  would  not  be  able  to  recover  the 
value  of  investments  or  collateral  securities  in  the 
possession  of  an  outside  party.  The  Plan  does  not  have  a 
formal  policy  regarding  custodial  credit  risk.  However, 
the  bank  acting  as  the  investment  manager  has  been 
approved  by  the  Plan’s  Board  of  Trustees. 

Deposits 

Cash  balances  represent  operating  bank  account 
balances.  To  maximize  investment  income,  the  float 
caused  by  outstanding  checks  is  invested  in  overnight 
repurchase  agreements,  thus  causing  a negative 
carrying  value. 

At  June  30, 2016,  cash  held  in  the  financial  institution 
had  a bank  balance  of  $ 5 5,749  and  a carrying  value 
of  ($13,433,628).  Of  the  bank  balance,  $5  5,749  was 


covered  by  federal  depository  insurance.  The  remaining 
$164,019,627  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  held  in 
repurchase  agreements  and  fully  collateralized  with 
securities  held  by  a third-party  financial  institution  in 
the  Plan’s  name. 

The  Plan’s  contracted  yield  on  its  overnight  repurchase 
agreements  was  1 5 basis  points  above  the  prevailing  91- 
day  U.S.  Treasury  Bill  rate  as  of  June  30, 2016. 

Investments 

The  Plan’s  investment  policy  for  the  ISF  is  predicated 
on  the  primary  objectives  of  safety,  liquidity,  and 
yield,  in  order  of  priority.  Investments  in  bankers’ 
acceptances  and  commercial  paper  are  required  to 
mature  and  become  payable  not  more  than  180  days 
from  the  date  of  purchase.  All  other  investments  are 
required  to  mature  and  become  payable  not  more  than 
five  years  from  the  date  of  purchase.  The  weighted 
average  life  should  not  exceed  three  years  and  should 
be  consistent  with  the  investment  objectives. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  adopted  an  asset  allocation 
model  for  the  SRWBT  that  implemented  a moderate 
investment  approach  allocating  33  percent  to  equities. 
This  approach  was  approved  to  steadily  increase  the 
exposure  of  the  SRWBT  to  higher  return  asset  classes 
over  time.  Exposure  to  equities  will  be  through  a 
combination  of  actively  managed  index  funds  and/ 
or  exchange  traded  funds  that  are  highly  rated  and 
reviewed  regularly.  Allocations  are  back-tested,  and 
future  assets  are  projected  in  all  models.  The  Plan 
follows  the  “prudent  person”  rule  for  investment 
decisions.  Essentially,  the  Plan  operates  as  a prudent 
person  acting  in  a like  capacity  and  familiar  with 
similar  matters  would  act  in  the  conduct  of  an 
enterprise  of  a like  character  and  with  like  aims.  Any 
person  with  fiduciary  responsibilities  with  respect  to 
the  Plan  is  covered  by  this  “prudent  person”  rule.  As  of 
June  30,  2016,  the  Plan  had  the  following  investments 
as  presented  on  the  following  page.

Concentration  of  Credit  Risk 


Credit  Risk 


Concentration  of  credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  loss  attributed 
to  the  magnitude  of  the  ISF’s  investment  in  a single 
issue.  To  mitigate  this  risk,  the  ISF’s  investment  policy 
provides  general  guidelines  on  diversification. 

Investments  in  U.S.  Treasuries  and  securities, 
collateralized  time  and  demand  deposits,  and 
collateralized  repurchase  agreements  can  constitute 
up  to  100  percent  of  the  investment  portfolio;  U.S. 
government  agencies,  including  mortgage-hacked 
securities,  cannot  exceed  60  percent  of  the  portfolio; 
and  U.S.  government  agency  callable  securities, 
bankers’  acceptances  and  commercial  paper  cannot 
exceed  30  percent  of  the  portfolio.  The  SRWBT  has 
implemented  an  investment  approach  allocating  33 
percent  to  equities. 


Credit  risk  is  the  risk  that  an  issuer  or  other 
counterparty  to  an  investment  will  not  fulfill  its 
obligation.  The  Plan  minimizes  this  risk  by  only 
authorizing  investment  types  approved  by  the 
Treasurer  of  the  State  of  Missouri,  limiting  investments 
to  the  safest  types  of  securities,  and  diversifying  the 
portfolio  so  potential  losses  on  individual  securities 
will  be  minimized.  The  Plan’s  investments  by  credit 
rating  category  as  of  June  30, 2016  are  presented  on  the 
following  page.

Interest  Rate  Risk 

Interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  interest  rates  will  adversely  affect  the  fair  value  of  an  investment.  The  Plan 
minimizes  this  risk  hy  structuring  the  portfolio  so  securities  mature  to  meet  cash  requirements  for  ongoing  operations, 
using  cash  flow  modeling  to  moderate  the  interest  rate  risk  hy  reducing  any  unanticipated  security  sales  that  could 
result  in  a loss  of  principal  and,  maintaining  the  operating  funds  primarily  in  repurchase  agreements  according  to  the 
hanking  contract. 

For  the  interest  rate  risk  measurement  for  the  Plan,  Central  Bank  employs  the  duration  method.  The  maturities  of  the 
Plan’s  investments  as  of  June  30, 2016  are  presented  below.

Foreign  Currency  Risk 

Foreign  currency  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in 
exchange  rates  will  adversely  affect  the  fair  value  of 
an  investment.  The  Plan  has  no  investments  subject  to 
foreign  currency  risk. 

Fair  Value  Measurement 

MCHCP  categorizes  its  fair  value  measurements  with 
the  fair  value  hierarchy  established  by  GASB  Statement 
No.  72,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Application.  The 
hierarchy  for  fair  value  is  as  follows: 

Level  1 - Inputs  to  the  valuation  methodology  are 
unadjusted  quoted  prices  for  identical  instruments  in 
active  markets  available  at  the  measurement  date. 

Level  2 - Quoted  prices  for  similar  instruments 
in  active  markets;  quoted  prices  for  identical  or 
similar  instruments  in  inactive  markets;  and  model 
derived  valuations  in  which  all  significant  inputs  are 
corroborated  by  observable  market  data. 

Level  3 - Valuations  derived  from  valuation 
methodology  in  which  significant  inputs  are 
unobservable. 


When  available,  quoted  prices  are  used  to  determine 
fair  value.  When  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  are 
available,  investments  are  classified  with  Level  1 of 
the  fair  value  hierarchy.  MCHCP’s  Level  1 investments 
primarily  consist  of  investments  in  U.S.  Treasury 
obligations  for  the  ISF  and  U.S.  Treasury  obligations, 
equity  securities,  and  mutual  funds  for  the  SRWBT. 
When  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  are  not  available, 
fair  values  are  based  on  evaluated  prices  received  from 
MCHCP’s  custodian  of  investments  in  conjunction 
with  a third  party  pricing  service  and  are  reported  with 
Level  2 of  the  fair  value  hierarchy.  The  inputs  for  Level 
2 include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  pricing  models  such 
as  benchmarking  yields,  reported  trades,  broker-dealer 
quotes,  issuer  spreads  and  benchmarking  securities, 
among  others.  MCHCFs  Level  2 investments  consist  of 
investments  for  both  the  ISF  and  SRWBT  of  U.S  Agency 
and  Mortgage  Backed  Securities  and  additionally  for 
the  SRWBT  Corporate  and  Collateralized  Mortgage 
Obligations.  MCHCP  did  not  maintain  any  Level  3 
investments.

D.  Interfund  Activity  & Balances 

As  disclosed  above,  the  ISF  provides  all  administrative 
responsibilities  related  to  SRWBT,  which  has  no 
separate  facilities  or  staff.  Expenses  directly  attributable 
to  SRWBT  are  charged  to  SRWBT.  Other  operating 
expenses,  including  personnel,  are  allocated  between 
the  ISF  and  the  SRWBT  based  on  participant  counts  for 
retired  and  active  participants. 

The  balance  of  the  inter  fund  receivable/payable 
represents  the  excess  of  SRWBT  contributions  collected 
by  the  ISF  Plan  over  expenses  paid  by  the  ISF  Plan  for 
SRWBT. 

E.  Receivables 

Beginning  January  1,  2014,  the  Plan  began  offering 
an  Employer  Group  Waiver  Plan  (EGWP),  a Medicare 


Part  D prescription  dmg  plan  (PDP)  to  Medicare 
eligible  retirees  and  covered  Medicare  eligible 
dependents.  Estimated  revenue  is  recognized  as  the 
SRWBT  incurs  Medicare  eligible  retiree  prescription 
dmg  expenditures.  In  addition,  the  Plan  receives 
rebates  from  its  pharmacy  benefit  manager  related  to 
manufacturers’  rebates  and  other  guaranteed  rebates  for 
non-Medicare  Part  D prescriptions.  For  the  year  ended 
June  30, 2016,  these  rebates  are  allocated  between  the 
ISF  and  the  SRWBT  based  upon  their  respective  claims 
activity.  Estimated  revenue  is  recognized  for  rebates 
based  on  prescription  claims  counts,  historical  average 
rebate  per  claim,  and  actual  receipts. 

Other  receivables  include  interest  income  and  member 
premium  amounts.

F.  Furniture,  Fixtures  & Equipment 

Furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment  are  capitalized  at  cost  when  acquired.  Depreciation  is  computed  using  the  straight- 
line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  related  assets.  Furniture  and  fixtures  are  depreciated  over  a 10-year 
useful  life.  Data  processing  equipment  is  depreciated  over  a five-year  useful  life.  The  threshold  for  the  capitalizing  of 
fixed  assets  is  $1,000. 

Maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred.  The  cost  and  related  accumulated  depreciation  of  assets 
sold  or  retired  are  removed  from  the  related  accounts,  and  the  resulting  gains  or  losses  are  reflected  as  non-operating 
gains  or  losses  in  the  statement  of  revenues,  expenses  and  change  in  net  position.  The  changes  in  Furniture,  Fixtures 
and  Equipment  for  the  year  ended  June  30, 2016  are  as  presented  in  the  chart  below.

G.  Plan  Funding 

State  Appropriations/Contributions 

Funds  are  appropriated  to  the  Plan  by  the  Missouri 
State  General  Assembly.  Premiums  are  received 
one-half  prior  to  the  month  of  coverage  and  one-half 
during  the  month  of  coverage.  Funds  are  received  by 
the  Plan  every  two  weeks  and  coincide  with  the  State’s 
payroll  cycle.  The  State’s  monthly  per-member  active 
contribution  for  fiscal  year  2016,  averaged  $717  per 


month.  The  State’s  contribution  per  member  to  fund 
the  current  fiscal  year  cost  of  retiree  plan  benefits  for 
the  year  ended  June  30, 2016  averaged  3.92  5 percent  of 
active  employee  covered  payroll. 

The  State  did  not  provide  additional  funding  towards 
future  OPEB  benefits  for  the  period  ended  June  30, 
2016.  All  state  appropriations  are  available  to  pay 
benefits  for  both  active  and  retired  participants  except 
for  the  amounts  contributed  to  fund  the  OPEB  reserve. 


2016  Annual  Report  S3 


Member  Premiums 

Monthly  member  premiums  for  State  employees  are 
established  annually  by  the  Plan’s  Board  of  Trustees. 
These  premiums  are  deducted  from  employee  payroll 
checks  in  advance.  Additionally,  the  Plan  bills  members 
who  are  not  receiving  payroll  checks  two  weeks  in 
advance. 

Public  Entity  Premiums 

Monthly  public  entity  premiums  are  established 
annually  by  the  Plan’s  Board  of  Trustees.  The  Plan  bills 
the  public  entities  two  weeks  in  advance. 

Deferred  Premium  Revenue 

Deferred  premium  revenue  includes  premium  revenue 
from  the  members,  public  entities,  and  the  State 
received  in  advance  of  the  month  coverage  is  provided. 

Operating/Non-operating  Revenues 

Operating  revenues  and  expenses  reflect  items  directly 
related  to  providing  health  benefits  to  members.  Non- 


operating revenues  and  expenses  represent  investment 
income  and  other  items  not  directly  related  to 
providing  health  benefits  to  members. 

H.  Other  Post-Employment  Benefits 

Employees  may  participate  in  state-sponsored  medical 
coverage  in  retirement  based  on  Plan  criteria.  At 
June  30, 2016,  there  were  20,584  retirees  and  their 
dependents  who  met  these  eligibility  requirements. 

For  the  year  ended  June  30, 2016,  expenditures  (net 
of  retiree  contributions)  of  $129.1  million  were 
recognized  for  post-retirement  medical  insurance 
coverage  under  the  self-funded  PPO,  and  less  than 
$19,000  under  the  fully  insured  PPO  option. 

Fimded  Status  and  Fimding  Progress

Actuarial  valuations  of  an  ongoing  plan  involve 
estimates  of  the  value  of  reported  amounts  and 
assumptions  about  the  probability  of  occurrence  of 
events  into  the  future.  Examples  include  assumptions 
about  future  employment,  mortality,  and  the  health 
care  cost  trend.  Actuarially  determined  amounts 
are  subject  to  continual  revision,  as  actual  results 
are  compared  with  past  expectations  and  revised 
estimates  are  made  about  future  costs.  The  estimated 
actuarial  accrued  liability  reflected  above  is  based  on 
the  substantive  plan  in  place  at  the  time  of  the  latest 
actuarial  valuation.  The  schedule  of  funding  progress, 
presented  as  required  supplementary  information 
following  the  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  presents 
trend  information  about  whether  the  actuarial  values 
of  plan  assets  are  increasing  or  decreasing  over  time 
relative  to  the  actuarial  accrued  benefits. 

The  accompanying  schedule  of  employer  contributions, 
presented  as  required  supplementary  information, 
presents  trend  information  about  the  amounts 
contributed  to  the  plan  by  employers  in  comparison 
to  the  amount  that  is  actuarially  determined  in 
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  GASB  Statement 
No.  43.  The  annual  required  contribution  (ARC) 
represents  a level  of  funding  that,  if  paid  on  an  ongoing 
basis,  is  projected  to  cover  normal  costs  for  each  year 
and  amortize  any  unfunded  actuarial  liabilities  (or 
funding  excess)  over  a period  not  to  exceed  30  years. 


Projections  of  benefits  for  financial  reporting 
purposes  are  based  on  the  substantive  plan  (the  plan  as 
understood  by  the  employer  and  plan  members)  and 
include  the  types  of  benefits  provided  at  the  time  of 
each  valuation  and  the  historical  pattern  of  sharing  of 
benefit  costs  between  the  employer  and  plan  members. 
The  projection  of  benefits  for  financial  reporting 
purposes  does  not  explicitly  incorporate  the  potential 
effects  of  legal  or  contractual  funding  limitations  on 
the  pattern  of  cost-sharing  between  the  employer  and 
plan  members  in  the  future.  The  actuarial  methods 
and  assumptions  used  include  techniques  that  are 
designed  to  reduce  the  effects  of  short-term  volatility  in 
actuarial  accrued  liabilities  and  the  actuarial  value  of 
assets,  consistent  with  the  long-term  perspective  of  the 
calculations. 

Projections  include  a broad  array  of  complex  social 
and  economic  events,  such  as  the  emergence  of  new 
and  expensive  medical  procedures  and  prescription 
drug  options,  changes  in  investment  rates  of  return, 
and  other  uncertainties.  As  such,  the  estimate  of 
post-retirement  program  costs  contains  considerable 
uncertainty  and  variability,  and  actual  experience 
may  vary  significantly  from  the  current  estimated 
obligation.  Additional  information  as  of  the  latest 
actuarial  valuation  is  presented  on  the  next  page.

I.  Medical  Claims  & Capitation 

As  of  June  30, 2016,  the  Plan  insured  approximately 
92  percent  of  its  members  through  PPO  contracts. 
Third-party  administrators  are  paid  a contracted 
administrative  fee  per  subscriber  for  the  self-insured 
contracts,  with  the  Plan  bearing  all  administrative 
and  medical  claims  costs  of  providing  coverage  to  the 


members.  Enrollment  in  the  High  Deductible  Health 
Plan  was  approximately  8%  for  the  year  ended  June  30, 
2016. 

The  liability  for  estimated  accrued  claims  and 
processing  costs  is  based  on  an  actuarial  estimate  of  the 
ultimate  cost  of  settling  such  claims  due  and  payable 
as  of  the  balance  sheet  date  (including  claims  reported 
and  in  process  of  settlement,  claims  reported  but  not 
yet  processed  for  settlement,  and  claims  incurred  for 
services  provided  but  not  yet  reported  or  processed  for 
settlement).  The  estimated  actuarial  liability  reflects 
certain  assumptions,  which  include  such  factors 
as  enrollment  and  utilization.  Adjustments  to  the 
estimated  actuarial  liability  for  the  final  settlement  of 
claims  will  be  reflected  in  the  year  that  actual  results  of 
the  settlement  of  the  claims  are  made  and  are  known. 


56  GUIDE  I Financial 


As  of  June  30, 2016,  $3,652,622,  is  included  in  accrued 
medical  claims  and  capitation  fee  expenses  for  accrued 
PPO  capitation  expenses.  Additionally,  $51,502,000  at 
June  30, 2016,  is  included  in  estimated  accrued  medical 
costs  for  claims  incurred  but  not  yet  paid  under  the 
Plan’s  self-funded  products.  Although  management 
believes  these  estimates  are  adequate,  the  ultimate 
liability  may  he  more  or  less  than  the  amounts 
recorded. 


The  methods  for  making  such  estimates  and  for 
establishing  the  resulting  liabilities  are  continually 
reviewed,  and  any  adjustments  are  reflected  in  current 
operations.  Contingent  liabilities  exist  with  respect  to 
claims  covered  under  the  Plan  in  the  event  a contracted 
provider  or  carrier  is  unable  to  meet  its  obligations  to 
the  Plan.  Changes  in  estimated  accrued  claims  for  fiscal

J.  Retirement  Plan 

General  Information  About  the 
Pension  Plan 

Plan  description.  Benefit  eligible  employees  of 
MCHCP  are  provided  with  pensions  through  MOSERS 
- a cost-sharing  multiple-employer  defined  benefit 
pension  plan.  Chapter  104.320  of  the  Revised  Statutes 
of  Missouri  grants  the  authority  to  establish  a defined 
plan  for  eligible  state  and  other  related  agency 
employees.  MOSERS  issues  an  annual  Comprehensive 
Annual  Financial  Report  (CAFR),  a publicly  available 
report  that  can  be  obtained  at  www.mosers.org. 

Benefits  provided.  MOSERS  provides  retirement, 
disability,  and  life  insurance  benefits  to  eligible 
employees.  The  base  retirement  benefits  are  calculated 
by  multiplying  the  employee’s  final  average  pay  by 
a factor  multiplied  by  the  years  of  credited  service. 

The  factor  is  based  on  the  specific  plan  in  which  the 
employee  participates,  which  is  based  on  the  employee’s 
hire  date.  Information  on  the  three  plans  administered 
by  MOSERS  (MSEP,  MSEP  2000,  and  MSEP  2011 
retirement  plans)  and  how  eligibility  and  the  benefit 
amount  is  determined  for  each  plan  may  be  found 
in  the  Notes  to  the  Financial  Statements  of  MOSERS’ 
CAFR. 

Contributions.  Per  Chapter  104.436  of  the  Revised 
Statutes  of  Missouri,  contribution  requirements  of  the 
active  employees  and  the  participating  employers  are 
established  and  may  be  amended  by  the  MOSERS  Board 
of  Trustees.  Employees  in  the  MSEP  2011  Plan  are 
required  to  contribute  4.0  percent  of  their  annual  pay. 
MCHCFs  required  contribution  rate  for  the  year  ended 
June  30,  2016,  was  16.97  percent  of  annual  payroll, 
actuarially  determined  as  an  amount  that,  when 
combined  with  employee  contributions,  is  expected  to 
finance  the  cost  of  benefits  earned  by  employees  during 
the  year,  with  an  additional  amount  to  finance  any 
unfunded  accrued  liability.  The  contribution  rate  for 
the  MOSERS  plan  year  ended  June  30, 201 5 was  16.97 
percent,  which  is  the  year  of  measurement  for  the  net 


pension  liability.  Contributions  to  the  pension  plan 
from  MCHCP  were  $514,420  for  the  year  ended  June 
30,2016. 

For  purposes  of  measuring  the  net  pension  liability, 
deferred  outflows  of  resources  and  deferred  inflows 
of  resources  related  to  pensions,  and  pension  expense, 
information  about  the  fiduciary  net  position  of 
MOSERS  and  additions/deductions  from  MOSERS’ 
fiduciary  net  position  have  been  determined  on  the 
same  basis  as  they  are  reported  by  MOSERS.  For  this 
purpose,  benefit  payments  (including  refunds  of 
employee  contributions)  are  recognized  when  due 
and  payable  in  accordance  with  the  benefit  terms. 
Investments  are  reported  at  fair  value. 

Pension  Liabilities,  Pension  Expense,  and 
Deferred  Outflows  of  Resources  and  Deferred 
Inflows  of  Resources  Related  to  Pensions 

At  June  30, 2016,  MCHCP  reported  a liability  of 
$5,133,995  for  its  proportionate  share  of  the  net 
pension  liability.  The  net  pension  liability  was 
measured  as  of  June  30, 2015,  and  the  total  pension 
liability  used  to  calculate  the  net  pension  liability  was 
determined  by  an  actuarial  valuation  as  of  that  date. 

The  MCHCP  proportion  of  the  net  pension  liability  was 
based  on  MCHCFs  actual  share  of  contributions  to  the 
pension  plan  relative  to  the  actual  contributions  of  all 
participating  employers  for  MOSERS  plan  year  ended 
June  30,  201 5.  At  June  30,  201 5,  MCHCP’s  proportion 
was  0.160  percent,  an  increase  from  its  proportion 
measured  using  0.1 577  percent  as  of  the  June  30, 2014, 
measurement  date.  There  were  no  changes  in  benefit 
terms  during  the  MOSERS  plan  year  ended  June  30, 

201 5,  that  affected  the  measurement  of  total  pension 
liability. 

For  the  year  ended  June  30, 2016,  MCHCP  recognized 
pension  expense  of  $519,586.  At  June  30,  2016,  MCHCP 
reported  deferred  outflows  of  resources  and  deferred 
inflows  of  resources  related  to  pensions  from  the 
sources  on  the  following  page.

2016  Annual  Report  59 


Assumptions.  The  total  pension  liability  in  the  June  30, 201 5 actuarial  valuation,  which  is  also  the  date  of 
measurement  for  GASB  68  purposes,  was  determined  using  the  following  actuarial  assumptions,  applied  to  all  periods 
included  in  the  measurement; 


Price  inflation 

2.5  percent,  approximate 

Salary  increases  or  wage  inflation 

0%  for  FY  2016  and  3.0  percent  annually,  average, 
including  inflation  thereafter 

Investment  rate  of  return 

8.0  percent  per  year,  compounded  annually,  net 
after  investment  expenses  and  including  inflation 

Mortality  rates  were  based  on  the  RP-2000  combined 
healthy  mortality  table  projected  to  2016  with  Scale 
AA.  The  pre-retirement  mortality  rates  used  were 
100%  of  the  port-retirement  mortality  rates  for 
males  and  80%  of  the  port-retirement  mortality  for 
females,  as  appropriate,  with  adjustments  for  mortality 
improvements  based  on  Scale  AA. 

The  change  in  assumptions  recorded  as  deferred 
inflows  of  resources  was  related  to  a change  in  wage 
assumptions.  For  the  June  30, 201 5,  valuation,  wage 
inflation  is  assumed  to  be  0%  in  the  first  year  and  3% 
thereafter.  This  is  a one-time  change  based  on  the  pay 
freeze  enacted  for  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 2016. 
Previously,  salary  increases  were  assumed  to  be  3.0%  to 
5.9%  annually  on  average,  including  inflation. 

The  actuarial  assumptions  used  in  the  June  30, 201 5 
valuation  were  based  on  the  results  of  an  actuarial 
experience  study  for  the  period  July  1, 2007  to  June 
30, 2011.  As  a result  of  the  2011  actuarial  experience 
study,  the  MOSERS  Board  made  various  demographic 
assumption  changes  to  more  closely  reflect  actual 


experience.  The  most  significant  change  was  lowering 
the  assumed  annual  investment  rate  of  return  from 
8. 5 percent  to  8 percent.  MOSERS  is  conducting  an 
experience  study  and  the  results  of  that  study  are 
expected  to  be  finalized  prior  to  June  30, 2016  which 
will  be  used  by  the  actuarial  firm  to  conduct  the 
valuation  report  for  MOSERS’  FY  2016’s  valuation 
which  impacts  MCHCP’s  FY  2018  payroll. 

The  long  term  expected  rate  of  return  on  pension  plan 
investments  was  determined  using  a building  block 
method  in  which  best  estimates  rates  of  expected  future 
real  rates  of  return  (expected  returns,  net  of  pension 
plan  investment  expense  and  inflation)  are  developed 
for  each  major  asset  class.  These  ranges  are  combined 
to  produce  the  long  term  expected  rate  of  return  by 
weighting  the  expected  future  real  rates  of  return  by 
the  target  asset  allocation  percentage  and  by  adding 
expected  inflation.  Best  estimates  of  geometric  real 
rates  of  return  for  each  major  asset  class  included  in 
MOSERS  target  asset  allocation  as  of  June  30, 2015  are 
summarized  in  the  table  on  the  following  page.

Discount  rate.  The  discount  rate  used  to  measure  the 
total  pension  liability  was  8.0  percent.  The  projection  of 
cash  flows  used  to  determine  the  discount  rate  assumed 
that  employee  contributions  will  be  made  at  the 
current  contribution  rate  and  that  contributions  from 
employers  will  be  made  at  required  rates,  actuarially 
determined.  Based  on  those  assumptions,  the  pension 
plan’s  fiduciary  net  position  was  projected  to  be 
available  to  make  all  projected  future  benefit  payments 
of  current  active  and  inactive  employees.  Therefore, 
the  long-term  expected  rate  of  return  on  pension  plan 
investments  was  applied  to  all  periods  of  projected 


benefit  payments  to  determine  the  total  pension 
liability. 

Sensitivity  of  the  proportionate  share  of  the  net 
pension  liability  to  changes  in  the  discount  rate.  The 
following  presents  MCHCP’s  proportionate  share  of  the 
net  pension  liability  calculated  using  the  discount  rate 
of  8.0  percent,  as  well  as  what  MCHCP’s  proportionate 
share  of  the  net  pension  liability  would  be  if  it  were 
calculated  using  a discount  rate  that  is  1 percentage 
point  lower  (7.0  percent)  or  1 percentage  point  higher 
(9.0  percent)  than  the  current  rate;

information  about  the  pension  plan’s  fiduciary  net 
position  is  available  in  the  separately  issued  MOSERS 
financial  report. 

Additionally,  the  Plan  did  not  report  any  payables  to 
MOSERS  at  June  30, 2016. 

K.  Deferred  Compensation  Plan 

The  State  of  Missouri  Deferred  Compensation  Plan 
is  a voluntary  defined  contribution  plan  offered  in 
compliance  with  IRS  Code  Sections  457  and  401(a). 

The  Plan  is  administered  by  MOSERS  in  accordance 
with  Sections  105.900  to  105.927  of  the  Revised 
Statutes  of  Missouri.  MOSERS  has  retained  ICMA-RC 
for  participant  account  record  keeping  and  processing 
services  since  November  2011.  The  Plan  offers  all  state 
employees  the  opportunity  to  save  for  retirement  with 
before  and  after  tax  (Roth)  money.  New  permanent 
fulTtime  and  part-time  employees  are  automatically 
enrolled  in  the  plan  at  a 1%  contribution  per  pay  period 
made  via  payroll  deduction. 

Audited  financial  statements  for  the  State  of  Missouri 
Deferred  Compensation  Plan  can  be  viewed  on 
MOSERS  website  at  www.mosers.org.

L.  Employee  Assistance  Program 

An  employee  assistance  benefit  program  is  offered  to 
all  State  employees  and  their  immediate  families.  The 
program,  serviced  through  ComPsych,  offers  six  free 
mental  health  counseling  sessions  per  problem,  per 
year  and  can  be  accessed  24  hours  a day  through  a toll- 
free  number. 

M.  Post-Employment  Retiree  Health  Care 

For  the  year  ended  June  30, 2008,  MCHCP  adopted 
GASB  Statement  No.  45,  Accounting  and  Financial 
Reporting  for  Postemployment  Benefits  Other  than  Pensions. 
However,  all  State  agencies  and  component  units  are 
included  in  the  State’s  post-employment  retiree  health 
care  calculations. 

Thus,  separate  information  is  not  available  for  MCHCP, 
which  is  a component  unit  of  the  State.  For  fiscal  year 
2016,  MCHCP  contributed  $119,495  for  its  employees 
in  accordance  with  the  State’s  funding  policy  toward 
the  annual  required  contribution  (ARC)  for  post- 
employment retiree  health  care.  These  financial 
statements  include  the  OPEB  Plan  in  which  MCHCP 
participates.  See  note  H for  further  information 
regarding  the  OPEB  plan.
